Recently, Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party boobed by trying to use scoping documents for possible trade negotiations with the US as proof the NHS was up for sale. Needless to say the holes in the claim were spotted straight away, and the attempt bombed.
It seems Labour's far-left's near ancient links and loyalty to Moscow have blinded it for the zillionth time, and now the far-left are in control..
Labour shamed as RUSSIA behind leaked NHS documents in campaign of ‘vote manipulation’
LABOUR'S classified documents detailing plans for a post-Brexit US trade deal which Jeremy Corbyn claimed showed a Tory plot to “sell off the NHS” may have been posted online on the Reddit website by a Russian campaign, it has emerged.
The classified Government documents had been leaked on Reddit, the online discussion site. Reddit added that one of the accounts had in "late October" posted the documents, which contained details of meetings between US and UK officials on a potential post-Brexit trade deal. The Labour leader used the classified documents detailing trade talks between US and UK officials as evidence of what he said were "secret talks" to sell off the NHS.
The leaked documents used by Jeremy Corbyn as proof Tories are planning to sell off the NHS have been linked to a Russian disinformation campaign on Reddit, the social media platform has said.
Reddit said it had banned 61 accounts following an investigation of suspect activity.
The campaign shared the same pattern of activity as a Russian operation dubbed "Secondary Infektion" uncovered by Facebook earlier this year.
Mr Corbyn used the leaked documents as evidence the Government was at an advanced stage of negotiations with the US to open up the health service to American pharmaceutical companies.
There is currently no suggestions the documents were false or doctored in any way.
"The uncensored documents leave Boris Johnson's denials in absolute tatters," Mr Corbyn told a news conference last week.
The prime minister dismissed the claims as "total nonsense" and his party said the Labour leader had misrepresented the documents and quoted sections out of context.
The documents first appeared in a post on Reddit in October and the site has now said it believes it is "part of a campaign that has been reported as originating from Russia".
Reddit said it believed the documents were leaked as "part of a campaign that has been reported as originating from Russia".
Labour has refused to discuss the source for the documents.
"These documents reveal the plot against our NHS. And of course neither the UK nor the US government have denied their authenticity. Our releasing them to journalists was clearly in the public interest," a Labour spokesman said.

One should thoroughly check one's sources of information.
A scoping document is in no way a final agreement, not even close. One thing's for sure, the Russians don't want Boris to win. Take note Democrats.
